Observations

Took the day off today. Wanted to welcome B home and pick him up at the airport. I had missed him a lot this trip and he was away for slightly more than a week. It is amazing how we had gotten close and how we miss each other so much. 

After dropping him home, I had settled my car and I had my first taste of financial freedom. To celebrate the moment, I went straight to Alexis and enjoyed my aglio olio in my corner. I seem to think this corner table should have my name engraved on it! You will know when you are at a place too much and waiters know you too well, when they say, we have your usual table and is your friend joining you today? I used to come here alone almost every weekend. Then, it became months and then quarters. But recently, I started coming back here quite regularly. It's funny when the guys still remember you and since then, B had joined me a couple times. And they now remember B as well! I think I come here too often!

Now that lunch crowd is coming in, a couple is seated next to me. You can tell that they are attracted to each other and starting out as friends. The girl is overexcited in her conversations and a little bit too chirpy. The guy is trying to be chilled and relaxed and laughing at her stories. It reminded me of B and me. Then, I wonder am I like that too when I'm around B last time? Or maybe I'm still like that now around him. He still can make me blush and make me be this girly girl. I'm still trying to figure out why I'm like that around him. 

But having said that, I haven't been happier in a relationship. In a relationship of give and take, it's been a learning experience for both of us, more so me than him. I'm now his darling, wifey, sweetheart,  drama queen, manja baby, and that's only what I can remember. And by his own admission, that's progress for me already!! 

And now, as I observe the couple next to me, I'm eager to know how this develops..
